This is the first book in the Chosen Champions series and what a wonderful ride it is.

Bailey is a very caring and sweet human who has no idea that there’s another world within his world. Circumstances bring Alpha wolf shifter Logan into his orbit and the attraction is instant and strong but they don’t jump headfirst into the steamy, heated part of the relationship. That all happens after a few more interactions where they get to know each other a bit better.

Logan and Bailey both bring a fantastic cast of side characters into the mix and it certainly helps keep things interesting and engaging. The plot line had me turning the pages eagerly wanting more and had me guessing the identity of the protagonist until the big reveal. I really enjoyed the balance between the romance and the plot which is all held together with great pacing, great characters and some laugh out loud moments.
Definitely looking forward to the next instalment in the series.

My favourite of the series so far.

“You aren’t broken, baby. You survived hell. You are so much stronger than you think you are.”

This quote perfectly sums up fated mates Reinhold and Chase. Wolf shifter Chase has lived through a very tragic past and truly believes he is broken because of it. His dragon mate Reinhold is so kind and patient and will do anything to make Chase believe in himself again and that he’s deserving of a wonderful life.

Their story tugged on my heartstrings and it was an absolute joy watching Chase blossom into the man he’s meant to be. The strength and support of Reinhold slowly begins to make him feel safe and as he becomes comfortable around Reinhold’s family, and others, his cheekiness comes out and leads to some very cute and funny moments.

There is no quick fix approach from the author towards Chase and his troubles which I greatly appreciated. Even fated mates sometimes have to tread carefully, seek outside help and work through issues as they arise to go from insta attraction/chemistry to a HEA. Not to say that they don’t get very steamy at times!

I loved this instalment in the series. A new character is introduced, there’s a reappearance of the unknown entity from earlier in the series and once again numerous characters from previous books play their part. I’m excited for more!
